I'm not waiting.  That's why I write things like

It's not whether it's pretty or not.  I hate 'em because they're
hard to edit, and hard to reorganize when they get messy, and
I've seldom gotten any use out of them.  For instance,
hardly any Google searches I do ever find good stuff on
wiki pages.

Someone recently suggested the Wiki is a good place to collect
stuff for a human to later faq-ify in batch mode.  That may be.
